Sony Computer Entertainment today announced that its upcoming Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be hitting the stands by April 17 this year, and will be available at both Blu-ray as well as the PlayStation store.

Featuring up to 50 meticulously detailed cars – including vehicles by Ferrari, Lotus and Nissan – for users to race on five beautifully rendered reversible tracks from around the globe, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue runs in full high definition at 1080p. Additionally, in conjunction with a robust offline experience, for the first time in the history of the franchise GT 5 Prologue supports up to 16 players racing head-to-head online, complete with global leaderboards, to quell any question of who is the best driver in the "World of GT." Furthermore, a feature called My Garage allows users to develop a personal profile page within the game and interact with other car enthusiasts from around the globe.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
